Stomping in the Mud Play Group is a rich, natural outdoor play environment where children have the opportunity to play outside, rain or shine ... a chance for preschoolers to 'live in the moment' while learning through play.

Earth Day

We had two blueberry bushes to plant for Earth Day.

We decided to plant them in pots, so they could be easily moved around into the warm sunshine.

The children enjoyed planting them.

After the plantings were complete, the children moved into the dirt and sand area, to do more of 'their own' planting.

These springtime photos of all the various activities that the children can do and can create for themselves, is awesome! I wish I could be a little kid again - what fun I would have at your Stomping Yard...........and I know I'd be out there exploring and expanding my world for hours!! Sadly, I'm not a kid, but look forward to 'stomping and playing in the mud' with my grandchildren. Great job Dianne and Gaie!!

About Me

Hi there, my name is Dianne and the field of early childhood education has been my passion for over 30 years. Yes, I started in my early 20's. I recently retired from a preschool where I was the supervisor/manager for 23 years. In 2004, I was awarded the Prime Minister's Certificate of Achievement. I believe that preschoolers learn the most important things not by being told but by constructing knowledge for themselves in interaction with the physical world & with other children- they do this by playing. Play is natural. Last but not least, I am blessed to be granny to four grand daughters.
